Ask me about serial killers.

Many serial killers are sadistic sociopaths. They feel no empathy. From an early age they were abusive and violent. As children they would torture and kill small animals. After a while, fantasy and animal abuse aren't enough, and they move on to people.

Many of them are sexually motivated. They are turned on by violence, arson, mutilation, cannibalism, necrophilia, and they want to act out their fantasies.

Some of them have an agenda, they want to take out their frustrations on other people. Many have a particular type of person they kill, someone who resembles someone they knew once, or the kind of people they hate. Some kill because they can't handle interpersonal relationships, and killing someone and having sex with the body is the closest they can get.

Some kill for profit.

Some serial killers start as rapists, their crimes escalating and becoming more violent as time passes as they "go too far."

Some think they're doing the right thing by killing people. Perhaps misguided religious zealots. They might be schizophrenic.

There's question as to whether serial killers are born or made. Some serial killers had terrible childhoods, traumatic experiences when they were children. Would these people have become murderers if they had been raised differently? If their mothers had shown them more affection, would they have had the empathy they now lack? Maybe they have some sort of chemical brain imbalance, or brain damage, or they were just born "wrong." It's really hard to say.

But it's all these unknowns, what makes a person into a serial killer, how can it be prevented, that makes serial killers so interesting.

**Squishdiboo** · 09-24-2011 10:47 PM

I think this conversation misses the point?

**Solarflare** · 09-24-2011 10:48 PM

which is?

**Squishdiboo** · 09-24-2011 10:51 PM

That not all serial killers start out murdering people.

What would be "the perfect crime"

**~~DeletePlease~~** · 09-25-2011 11:48 AM

Have you of Robert Pickton? He's from my neck of the woods and was recently sentenced for the murders of 6 women. He allegedly slaughtered 49 women (he was caught because "he got sloppy in his hurry to hit the 50 mark") but they didn't bother having trials for each case since he was already goign to be put behind bars for good. Every victim was dismember and mutilated and since he operated at his farm, he was able to dispose of the remains by feeding them to the pigs and stuff. I heard some of the remains were even processed for hotdogs and shipped out but I'm not sure if that's true, I just heard it from a friend. The murders were pretty grisly from what I read in the newspapers and it's kind of an interesting case so you might want to check it out.

There's also the "Beast of BC" (Clifford Olsen) who raped and killed 11 kids in a pretty fucked fashion and described one of the murders in a letter he sent to one of the victims' parents. If nothing else, the letter's worth a read. He's about to die, if he hasn't already, from cancer. He claims his body count is close to 100 and he's messed with families of the victims over the years. eg. selling memorabilia of the crimes online, the letter, etc.

We also had a bunch of feet wash up on shore during the span of a couple months but I'm not sure if they accredited that to the work of a serial killer.

EDIT: Nvm, the feet probably don't have anything to do with a serial killer but it's interesting nonetheless. Salish Sea human foot discoveries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have trouble believing it's not a serial killer. Jeeze!

**Seroquel** · 09-25-2011 07:04 PM

Of course I've heard of those two, Gavin. That was well written btw. Pickton would kill heroin addicts by injecting them with windshield-washer fluid.. Clifford Olsen is currently in a hospital, like 20 minutes from where I live.

He's going to die soon..

Forgot to ask this, have you seen the video of these guys killing the homeless man?
Dnepropetrovsk maniacs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And did it make you feel sick?

**Seroquel** · 09-26-2011 02:24 AM

I saw it. It's called 3 guys 1 hammer. It's fucking brutal.. Would not show to grandkids/10.

And it wasn't a homeless man, it was just a regular guy who was biking home when they got him. He had just beaten cancer too.

Oh I heard it was a homeless guy. Yeah it is brutal as fuck.

So did it make you feel sick?

**Seroquel** · 09-26-2011 04:00 AM

Nope. I'm dead inside already.

I thought of this a while ago.

Answer is become an astronaut. Kill someone on the moon or another planet. Not bound by any laws up there haha

**Darkmatters** · 09-26-2011 02:27 PM

Not gonna work. I believe an astronaut is considered a representative of their country abroad, like an ambassador, and when you get home you'd splash down into the middle of a huge international incident with your picture plastered all over the media.

Better to choose some homeless person nobody will ever miss and do it quietly.

The perfect crime = one none of us ever have or ever will hear about because nobody even knows it happened.

So what? Everyone would know but nothing could be done about it.

**yuppie11975** · 09-26-2011 11:00 PM

I disagree, I think you could still be charged with it, and I mean, let's face it, you're going to have ALOT of publicity if you do it, everyone will be watching. Hypothetically even if you don't get arrested some weirdo, or friend of the person you killed will have vengance anyway.
Also, let's be realistic here, do you have a twenty million + dollar space ship?

It's not like it's a realistic goal anyway lol. There'd be no point. You'd have to kill a fellow astronaut who you'd probably like.

I'm not saying it's practical, it's just the only way you can get away with murder 100%. As in, will never be put in jail, not including killing yourself.

Why do you have favourite serial killers?

**yuppie11975** · 09-27-2011 11:29 AM

I was just thinking, ice shard?
Stab your victim, weapon melts, no traces.
